GENERAL HCS:

three boys, three girls; sounds like balance but reality is chaos

family trips once every summer and once every winter, it’s non negotiable

like wolves, they walk in a pack. if you see one, there’s definitely another one close by

breakfast together to trash talk everyone else the morning after every event

dani & leda spend the least time at home once they’re grown ‘cause they’re busy being adults and politics and whatnot

the other 4 probably don’t even know the first thing about politics

barbie never let the boys cut their hair too short so they just grew used to having somewhat long hair and kept it going forever

twins #2 demand separate parties since they were born in different days because of twelve minutes

they all make fun of dani 24/7 for being the only gen z of the bunch

DANI.

took him very long to get used to having siblings but the second they started growing and he realised he could get them to do stuff for him, he was cool

still needs his alone time with barbie at least three times a week though

is closer to leda because they have the most in common and they can talk about responsibilities and shit

leda dared him to cut his hair short one day and it almost gave barbie a heart attack, he kept it short after that because he liked the look

political science major, economy phd

has too many hobbies and most of them don’t even make sense, he just sees anything that could be considered interesting and goes ‘i could do that’

painting is still his major hobby ‘cause it’s something he can do with aunt ari and his dad

godparents: matilde + omari

LEDA.

a glucksbürg™

like fr if you can’t see the resemblance between her and nike idk what to tell you

not barbie’s so she did feel a bit left out in her late teen/youth years, mostly for overthinking and the fact she has to spend a good portion of her time in greece

eva was the one to sort of notice it and get those thoughts out of her head

is very protective of eva now so they grow up to be pretty close

her personality comes entirely from sergi so she’s a menace

very closed off, doesn’t make it her #1 priority to make friends, being respected is enough to keep her happy

classics major and a poli history master

godparents: io + sergi

EVA.

the brawns to cali’s brains

back to comparing them to a wolf pack, she’s the alpha. like yes, dani’s the oldest but she’s the boss

gets in trouble with too much ease, it’s a real talent the way she can give her parents headaches on the spot

gets that, her short temper, stubbornness, looks and the constant need to pick on her andrés from barbie

wilder than barbie though and fearless too ‘cause she doesn’t have a whole country to worry about

harvard law bitch but only because she didn’t know what else to do and harvard law sounded powerful enough, won’t ever use her degree for anything

didn’t tell anyone in college she’s a royal at first but got sick of the stuck up law students one day and started using it to show them there’s always someone bigger and more important in the room

godparents: inna + leonardo

CALI.

constantly getting his (older by five minutes) twin out of trouble

got a matching tattoo with eva at their eighteenth birthday even though he didn’t want to (because, again, she’s the boss) but after that, he didn’t stop and now has more tats than he can count

looks like a spoiled fuckboy but looks are definitely deceiving with this one

soft lover boy

cries way too easily thanks to his dad’s genes

needs glasses

love language is both words of affirmation and physical touch. will wrap an arm around the nearest family member wherever he is

a romantic, a helper, definitely a hugger in deep need of love and affection at all times

oxford veterinary medicine

grew up obsessed with animals, especially the big ones, because of his mother’s pets 

the most supportive of the bunch. any project, important day or sad moment his siblings have, he’s there in three seconds with the bragança special (cake)

godparents: aalayna + simó

FELI.

unlike cali, this is a fuckboy for sure

everyone’s friend like jesus christ is this guy an extrovert. that’s his main talent: he can befriend even the grumpiest most hateful person

sports boy. surfs for fun, snowboards for work which confuses barbie and andrés so much because neither of them knew snowboarding was something one could do at a professional level

world champion and olympian (probably looks up to teo a lot)

life of the party. once he and eva can party together it’s a done deal

no drugs or too much alcohol though because he actually takes the whole healthy athlete scene a little too serious

he and his twin collectively decided they wouldn’t go to uni and their parents will never recover from that shock

because he travels a lot for work, feli spends all his free time at home with the family

will carry on ale’s legacy of never wearing a shirt

was gonna be named frederico until eva pointed out that they couldn’t name him that because it was cali’s middle name

they changed it to felipe but dani started calling him “not fred” since then and the nickname kind of stuck around

godparents: layla + gabriel

GIGI.

it girl 

you think you can offend or piss her off? well, she’s too busy buying new shoes to even hear it

her entire personality is based on the “you wanna fight me with these long nails on? no, this hair was not cheap” quote by megan thee stallion

looking at her you’d think she’s the stereotypical dumb blondie and she does nothing to change that but is actually the smartest of the bunch hence why it was so hard for her parents to understand her not going to uni. it made sense with feli but gigi? hard to understand

has her own haircare brand and forces her siblings and friends to model for it

she’s the baby so obviously spoiled but actual sweetheart

never stressed over anything a day in her life

obsessed with flowers, used to go to the palace garden and take some out to put in her bedroom, the gardeners hated her as a child

inherited her mother’s love for buying presents. she gives everyone new stuff without the need of a special day or something to celebrate she just loves giving presents and buying things

&     YI TAEHA ( fc. hong suzu )

there’s a saying, that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. in taeha’s case, it’s only just a little too true. not only did she get san’s tact, she grew into his work ethic, too. methodical, calculative and far too cunning for her own good. taeha had always been the picture of poise and composure since she was a youngling. where most kids begged to be coddled, taeha jumped at the chance to be independent. she was

the daughter that made her parents proud. the only fault in her life was the primogeniture law that passed her over to take her rightful place after her father.

however, she doesn’t dwell for long, a creature of thorough planning and execution, she is ambitious and knows how to work for what she wants. she perseveres through her own excellence. by the time she is twenty-three, a bachelor’s in electrical engineering and master’s under her belt, she becomes the functioning ceo of her great-grandfather’s company, hwoi corp., while subsequently working as taewoo’s advisor.

unlike her youngest siblings, taeha bottles her feelings too easily. the mask of her indifference and well-worn facade that could only be reminiscent of yihwa’s younger years as a doll to her parent’s greed and san’s ambitious tendencies. she didn’t have time to get caught up in emotions, it was better to not have them. some may call her callous and cold, but taeha is simply indifferent and blunt to the matters that are unimportant to her.

where she differs from san is her lack of ruthlessness when it comes to her family, taeha wishes for nothing more, even if it means silencing her desires for a position that doesn’t belong to her  – that is until the crown is suddenly dropped right before her feet.

other info.

born within san and yihwa’s first year of marriage.

hardly cried as a kid, it was scary.

she and taewoo are bffs.

doesn’t want to disappoint san.

too independent for her own good.

doesn’t have time for love, but if she did marry, it’d be someone of equal footing who’d be fine being her emperor consort but never emperor.

workaholic.

was the ceo of hwoi corp. and taewoo’s advisor

is now the crown princess after primogeniture law was overturned due to taewoo’s incompetence.

&     YI TAEWOO ( fc. jung jaehyun )

he is a boy, told to be a man with a mountain of pressure on his shoulders. he is told to look up to his sister, her gleaming example is something to envy. his only relief is the law that would pass her over in favor of him for the throne. and forevermore, at least for the

next twenty-five years, he is the crown prince. a blessing, a burden, an agonizing pressure standing on a shaky resolve.

some part of taewoo knows he isn’t good enough, but he still tries. perhaps this is the pride he inherited from his father or the stubbornness from his mother, but the worst he fears is disappointment. not from his father, nor his mother but disappointing taeha. after all, she was the golden child. and how could he taint even a bit of her shine. no, he must shine brighter. and for the next twenty-five years, he tries to do just that.

in his own way, taewoo is just as calculating, just as cunning, but possesses a bit more ease, a handful more suave and persuasion. becoming a man who holds many hearts in his hand but closes his own in favor of the greed for power. but despite all this, he still falls short.

incompetently so that it makes san impatience, that the child he is grooming for the place after him is falling below the curve of his expectations. so much so, that an ultimatum is thrown taewoo’s way: do better or taeha will become crown princess. in the end, his shine could never out do his sister’s.

other info

two years younger than taeha, the stress of yihwa’ pregnancy w taeha urged them to wait a bit before trying again.

before the primogeniture law was overturned, the plan for another kid – mainly a boy – was granted with taewoo.

san’s carbon copy.

isn’t looking for love, he just wants to fuck around, but has the tact to cover it up.

doesn’t want to disappoint taeha.

abdicated the throne because he couldn’t handle the pressure.

took time off, years of the pressure mounting on his shoulders surely left him without much time to enjoy life as it was, traveled to europe and even spent some time in america to visit his cousin in new york.

&     YI INWOO + INHA ( fc. na jaemin, yoo jimin )

some say they’re the spare of spares, yihwa would say they’re the crumbs of her sanity. there are no surprises when it comes to the yi kids, until san and yihwa find out that their last kid is not just one on the way  –  but two. inwoo is the eldest by two minutes, having been evacuated from the womb by a very enthusiastic inha (who was already wailing by the time the doctor had fished her out); they almost didn’t make it to the hospital, inwoo was already crowning en route.

growing up, like similar spares of their situation, inwoo and inha were no different in the stretch of freedom that being spares allowed them. they were welcome to explore their interests (for inha it was figure skating, and for inwoo, idk he was just there), cultivate meaningful relationships and were under a less harsher spell of expectations than their elder siblings. the twins couldn’t be more different than taeha and taewoo, where they were a picture-perfect set of calculative and poise, inwoo and inha were expressive to a fault, clingy and far more rambunctious – traits that neither of their parents saw coming. what set them apart further from their elder siblings were their relationships with san and yihwa.

as the youngest, they were arguably doted on the most. yihwa spent the longest time nursing both inwoo and inha; where yihwa didn’t have the time to spoil taeha and taewoo due to their independent streaks, inwoo and inha ate up the love their mother had to give. because of this, the twins would grow to be spoiled but also open-hearted and more receptive to their relationships, unlike taeha and taewoo who were only too eager to hide such things.

other info.

inha is a professional figure skater ( w her godmother being ireti it was basically bound to happen ), inwoo a professional slacker.

five years younger than taewoo, seven years younger than taeha.

they both look up to their older siblings.

for a time, the twins insisted on sleeping with yihwa and san. being clustered around yihwa, leaving a big space beside san  –  only for all three of them to be sprawled across san come morning.

at first, yihwa was against having a nanny, since taeha and taewoo were so independent but with inwoo and inha, she needed mental health days away from them following her everywhere.

these were the days inwoo and inha got to spend time with san, too!

he’d bribe them with candy to get them to listen.

so their days w san would basically be him in his office doing work, inwoo and inha sorting the mountain of candies they got from him.

HEADCANONS

unsurprisingly, all their kids were meticulously planned ( there were no chances for accidental pregnancies ), level of difficulty for conceiving each pregnancies upped with each one. taeha being the easiest to conceive, having been done on the first try while the twins took a couple of tries. the only surprise was the fact that their last pair of children had, in fact, been twins   –   an uncalled for occurrence because yihwa said she had only wanted “one” more.

but yihwa had the easiest time birthing the twins, they literally slipped out. she practically gave birth on the way to the hospital.

yihwa had the hardest pregnancy with taeha, her stress levels and blood pressure were out of control.

while yihwa was pregnant with taeha and taewoo, respectively, she could not stand san’s presence. just his scent had her irritated and added to her nausea, for most of their pregnancies they were in separate bedrooms because of this. but for inwoo and inha, it was the exact opposite, she couldn’t be any closer – it was a problem because at times it would really interrupt san’s workflow.

taeha and taewoo were wildly independent from the get-go that yihwa complained, god answered and gave her inha and inwoo who would never leave her side  – it was Karma.

taeha and taewoo always trying their Best to impress san.

yihwa insisted family shoots for every important holiday and san did not like the fuss.

after a tumultuous number of months and years, olimpia and jelani kind of get their thing to work and then bam ! olimpia gets pregnant by accident. it’s their ( misguided ) optimism that makes them think that they can handle a baby. terminating the pregnancy would have been a tough call for olimpia anyway, keeping the baby seems like a natural decision.

the first kid is definitely olimpia’s ; jelani’s still trying to figure out if he has it in him to be a dad. olimpia never forgets to complain about how she’s doing so much. in true jelimpia style, the quips escalate, and then it happens. one night, she so much as implies he’s behaving like his father and he snaps. jelani mwezi, whose tongue is so readily dipped in poison, had not a word to say as he slams the door shut behind him and disappears. it doesn’t last long ( a couple of nights, more than enough to have fanni pestering olimpia to forget him ), but he returns, of course ; he knows where he wants to be, and it’s with oli and kai. it’s a rocky couple of years that drive them to go to therapy, get their shit together — they can’t be stupid 20-something-year-olds forever. 

the first two kids are born in europe but they move to tanzania before the youngest is born. it’s olimpia’s way of saying every past mistake is water under the bridge. all the kids are baptized in budapest though, it was not up for debate.

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬.

the kids have names that the parents liked. malakiàs is the name of a prophet, olimpia wanted a biblical name and it was pretty. safiri sounded nice. safiri and malakiàs both kind of sound like gemstones ( sapphire & malachite ) so it’s an added plus. akina was a name with attitude and it sounded pretty too. all kids are croy-mwezis because jelimpia wanted the kids to have an obnoxious name probably.

𝐢. 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈 ( jordan bolger fc )

zodiac sign: sagittarius name meaning: ( biblical ) messenger ; god-fearing

olimpia wants malakiàs to be living proof of how her relationship with jelani is not as hopeless as people think it is. she has high expectations for little ki and is a very hands-on parent the first years of his life. jelani is a bit absent — there, but not really there ; being a dad is difficult on him and he isn’t quite there yet. but these are formative years for ki. he’s relatively young when he gathers that his dad is not like the ones on tv. preschool aged and already bitter, ki begins to act up. aggressive brawls in the playground, snarky just-under-breath backchat to his nanny. olimpia is sad, but jelani is crushed — after all, it’s much too familiar ! a rough twenty years prior, it was he who was throwing messy punches in the school yard. this was a reality check for him. he’ll seek help before turning drowning in the rabbit hole that transforms him into andrew mwezi-rhodes.

malakiàs has many names but the most common nicknames are ”kai” which is used internationally and ”ki” which is used by family. olimpia usually calls him malakiàs though because it’s a name she chose and loved. ki starts acting out the older he gets and eventually olimpia just gives up. she doesn’t know what to do and kind of sees ki as a lost cause. ki grows up to be an independent adult.

the shame is that ki is the smartest kid of the three. just a bit smarter than average. but he never  applies himself. he does the bare minimum in school. he gets average ( sometimes excellent ) grades, so he has no reason to spend time and energy on studying. 

ki has only one passion: american football. he was three when he attended his first match, club seats to a cowboys vs patriots game, sat on the lap of grandpa andrew ( a big money american with friends in higher places ). he was four when his grandfather gifted him his first football, complete with mini goal posts and a helmet. and how jelani envies ! he envies his ki, who at four years old has garnered more affection from the man that he has over two decades ; and he envies his father, who had ignited a little spark in those chocolate brown eyes that not even olimpia had managed. how dare he ? so he overcompensates. every game day is a game day. new jerseys for each game, signed by all the big names at post-match meet and greets. little league games were proceeded with a feast of ki’s choice ( all too often, mcdonalds ). he does what he feels is necessary to ensure ki would pick him over grandpa andrew. 

olimpia had long backed off, and jelani was never all that paternal, so his teenage years divulged in a rebellious streak. he most certainly has a fling with a zulu ( kenny’s kid most likely ) and he’s bffs with karla de braganca ( a fact, no one can contest this ). 

godparents: @imanv, @lcvcntc

𝐢𝐢. 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐈 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐈 ( addis miller fc )

zodiac sign: libra  name meaning: journey ; second

safiri was jelani’s redemption arc. he was planned, he was wanted & he was cared for. he was born five years after ki. safiri grows up wanting to fix the family. he sees the cracks in his parents’ relationship and the issues his brother has. safiri does everything in his power to keep the family together. family life is probably the main source of stress for him.

safiri is popular though. he takes after jelimpia the most: stubborn, social and so sure of himself. his squad is the it squad of instagram. had he been born in the 90s he would have been bffs with kendall and sofia richie. he’s the luka sabbat / fai khadra of the next gen.

his real bff is céleste d’orléans. ciel likes taking pictures and safiri loves posing. they do projects together and just click. safiri gets along with both of his parents but he’s definitely jelani’s child. 

godparents: @siljcs, @aurcls

𝐢𝐢𝐢. 𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐙𝐈𝐀 ( tasha green fc )

zodiac sign: aries name meaning: solidarity ; summer

akina happens because olimpia needs a daughter. a bit less than two years after safiri. two kids should have been enough but no. akina is luckily a girl and olimpia is over the moon. olimpia tries her hardest to have the most iconic mother-daughter relationship one can hope for. akina definitely talks to olimpia about everything but olimpia can be a bit suffocating. 

akina is a late bloomer. jelani tells olimpia to take her to speech therapy when she’s almost two and hasn’t learned to speak. akina has always been quiet. she’s an observer with a million thoughts running through her head. she doesn’t really like the role she has in her family.

so when she graduates from high school she goes to live with the savari kids. she redefines herself outside of her family and realizes what she wants to do and that is art. after her gap year she applies to central saint martins to study textile design. she loves london and her new freedom. she sends postcards to her parents and lots of polaroids. social media is so uncool.

These three travel in a pack and when they walk into a room, everyone goes silent and the crowd parts for them like the sea for Moses. Everyone knows who their mother is and everyone knows that their father famously did not temper her the way some thought he would. Their parents were a force to be reckoned with and just one look at this trio tells you that all that power belongs to them.

Lady Mina Ekaterina Von Essen

The eldest by two minutes, Mina was declared to be the prettiest baby the kingdom had ever seen. She took that title to heart. Elyse’s image has always been carefully managed and Mina followed suit, guided by her mother. 3 million Instagram followers by age of 13, Elyse frankly couldn’t be prouder of her little soft-power princess. As the eldest, Mina is protective of her siblings and her family name. She’s known for collecting information of others and using it as blackmail. She knows everything about everyone, there isn’t a socialite in Europe that would cross her. 

Duke Nicholas Samuel Von Essen

Nicholas is the younger of the twins but Mina had no wish to rule, she was much better on the sidelines, doing her work quietly. Nicholas is much like his father, serious, stoic, no-nonsense and indulgent. He’s dogmatic like his mother though and possibly even more interested in expansion and reclaiming old territory. He’s always been a soft child though. It took him a long time and a lot of tears to learn that his family wasn’t the most loved in Europe. Nicholas is defensive of his mother’s reputation and has continued and expanded her social programs. 

Lady Svetlana Heidi Von Essen 

there is no way in hell that dianna will voluntarily get herself pregnant, and the only reason why the girls weren’t swiftly dealt with as soon as she knew was because she had grew tired of fighting. she thought that perhaps she could be the mother that her parents never were, and love her children the way children should be loved. jonghyun felt himself just as woefully ill-prepared, but it was at the fourteenth week mark did they found out that they were going to have a pair of girls ( twins were common from both sides of the family, both dianna and jonghyun had siblings that were twins ), and they had no choice but to fall in love. dianna, in desperation to right some wrongs, and jonghyun, in relief that he would not have to be as cold and ruthless to them as his father was to him. neither of the girls will succeed their father as duke, and both dianna and jonghyun preferred it, much to the dismay of jonghyun’s immediate family. 

controversially, as soon as the twins were cleared to travel, dianna took them both to new york, where they were both raised away from her overbearing family. jonghyun continues in his work in korea, and spares weekends to visit his family in america. they thought that they would have a better marriage with an ocean between them. 

𝐦𝐢𝐧 "𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞" 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐚

nara was oldest by eight minutes, with a name that jonghyun fought tooth and nail for -- dianna had to put her foot down to stop him from naming their twins woori ( our ) and nara ( country ), she thought it was disgustingly nationalistic and shamed him for days on end. so jonghyun picked one, and dianna named the other, in the spirit of compromise. as she grew up, neither jonghyun or dianna could understand just where she inherited her sugary sweet disposition. jonghyun thought of her as meek, at first, but dianna was determined to let her daughter be her own person and not be shamed for it. christened roseanne, nicknamed rosie, she is the passionate girl who loves to help. in spence she rallied her classmates to save the whales, petitioned the government for environmentally friendlier policies, and participates in protests for feminist causes. to her mother’s dismay, she even takes the subway! in the end, she would most likely go to school in columbia and nyu to keep her mother’s company, living at home with her in their penthouse for as long as she could. she couldn’t bear to have her mother lonely. in the end, she probably married an equally soft person from american old-money and they start an ngo together. 

𝐦𝐢𝐧 "𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚" 𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐮𝐥

while nara was nothing like her parents, iseul is the absolute perfect mixture. the name iseul means dew, and dianna’s choice of a ‘trendy’ name without any hanja roots. christened with the english name; serena, the younger min daughter is a frighteningly ambitious socialite, a spence mean girl who could put anyone in their place, always trailed by a gaggle of powerful girls who will do her bidding. when rosie preferred to stay in the background, serena revelled in the attention of others. she is the daughter of a princess and a duke, the granddaughter and niece of emperors, and she carries herself thus. no one could doubt her pedigree. put jonghyun’s ambition and penchant for intrigue into dianna’s socialite ways, and you’ll have serena min, ready to climb her way up new york society. intelligent and cunning to a fault, she secured herself a place in brown, then yale law, dating the most eligible kennedy or astor with a bright political career ahead of them. she thinks she’s gonna be flotus one day and i believe in her! 

EDIT: she’s gonna marry theodora rockefeller and they’re gonna be the first gays in the white house! imagine this: a rockefeller-hearst with a whitmore stepmom marries an immigrant poc descended from royalty??? iconic. gay feminist law-school grads with a mean streak... i love them.

𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬!

their fc is hwang yeji

the real question is, will jonghyun and dianna get along enough to be functional parents??? the answer is maybe, but only because they’re apart most of the time. 

rosie and serena were really close growing up, but their different interests and general social circles were so far removed from each other that they grew apart as they got older. but still, if someone fucks with rosie, serena will fight them on sight

First child of Gabriel and Arabella, Henrique received the name of his grandfather, Henrique II of Portugal. It was Gabriel’s request to give his first born the name of his father and to name Barbara his godmother.

This is Gabriel 2.0. Much like his father was nearly impossible to keep up to his pace and energy, he has always been a very outspoken and energetic child, running through the halls of the castle and driving everyone insane with every new idea he had. He loves sports and has always exceed in the ones he decided to do. 

At six years old, Henrique was diagnosed with TDAH when his tutors were concern with his pace of learning. Gabriel and Belle decided to shield Henri and kept the diagnosed locked under seven keys while providing all the tolls from the crown prince to go through life and develop in the best way possible. 

He had a private education in Austria with tutors to help him and his parents to provide Henrique the best system to succeed and have the education necessary for the future king. When he entered high school, Gabriel and Belle decided it was best to give the young prince a sense of normality and to experience what school was all about. So Henrique was sent to the same boarding school as Gabriel. 

Upon his graduation, he took a gap year before joining University and then the Royal Army. 

Fun fact: much like his second-cousin, he is not fond to wear a shirt.

Gabriel & Arabella were not planning on having another child but when they found out that baby number two was on the way, they were actually so happy about it.

As a child, Matthias was so attached to Arabella that he would not let her leave unless she took him with her. On the days that she couldn’t, he would not go out of his room until she got home. This explains why he grew up to be such a momma’s boy and possibly also why he was passionate about fashion as well.

Now, don’t get him wrong. He has parts of Gabriel in him as well. His imagination, for example, is just as wide as his father’s. You’d be surprised by how much adventures he made up for himself and he had Biel’s bedtime stories to thank for that. He loved every minute of it, and it’s what made him have a close relationship with his father.

Matthias grew up to be so soft-spoken that some people jokingly questioned if he really was a De Braganca-Von Habsburg. Not that he had a problem with this, being the only quiet one in the family made it easier for him to get away with things that he wouldn’t be able to if he was in the spotlight.

MISC: (tbu)

Gabriel and Belle number one priority is to give their boys a very lovely and safe environment and keep in their minds that there’s a complete different world outside palace walls. They want them to have freedom as much as possible, to be unique and kind.
